MR. MACKAYE TO LECTURE

On Position of Dramatist in Community.--In Living Room of Union at 8.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Mr. Percy MacKaye '97 will lecture on "The Dramatist as Citizen" in the Living Room of the Union this evening at 8 o'clock. The lecture will be open to members of the Union only.

After being graduated from the University in 1897, Mr. MacKaye spent three years in Europe, studying at the University of Leipzig and travelling in various parts of the continent. After returning to America he taught for four years in a private school in New York City. Since then he has devoted himself chiefly to dramatic writing, his most widely known works being "The Canterbury Tales of Geoffrey Chaucer," "Fenris, the Wolf," "Sappho and Phaon," "Jeanne d'Arc," and "Mater," the last three of which have been produced in New York during the past few years. Mr. MacKaye has also lectured on the American drama at Chicago, Ann Arbor and Buffalo.
